I know this is probably an already-discussed issue, but I need some
advice on a Mac-compatible printer.  Obviously (?), I'm trying to 
decide between the HP DeskWriter and the Apple StyleWriter.  I've
previously owned the DeskWriter and was very happy with it; I've
had to sell all my equipment while overseas.  So, now that the
StyleWriter has come out, I'm a bit confused which to purchase
when I return home.  I've heard the StyleWriter is much slower;
is this true?  Any comments on print quality?  Font compatibility/
graphics compatibility?  Is the DeskWriter worth the extra cost?
All info will be helpful (e-mail please!); being overseas I really
haven't been in touch with the StyleWriter at all.  Does it require
pretty specific paper like the DeskWriter?  Is it compatible with
things like Print Monitor?

Thanks VERY much!

Todd
